The Election.

The official returns on the Amend
ment election are being forwarded to
the Secretary Of States Office very
slowly. Less than half of the coun-
ties have officially reported yet, but
the votes of more than this are
known. The majority against the
amendment is variously estimated at
from twenty to thirty thousand.
When all the official iguresare in we
do not believe the majority will much
exceed twenty thousand. We will
publish the entire vote by counties as
soon as it can be had.

THE FUTURE WORK.

A State convention of prohibitions
lists should and probably will be call
ed to meet at Nashville at an early
date to agree upon some concert of ac-
ton for the future. The prohibition
lists are not at all discouraged over
the defeat of the amendment, but on
the other hand are very much graft
fed at the strength developed. They
have a following in this state which
the political parties cannot afford to
ignore in the future, but to retain this
vantage ground, concert of action
will be necessary. To accomplish
anything they must present a solid
front, and all pull together. Mr..
Geo. w. Armisted, editor of the
Issue, in an interview with an Amer
lean reporter, outlined the policy
which should, and we believe will,
govern the future of the prohibition
movement in this State. In answer
to the question, "What are the plans
of the prohibitionists ?" Mr.. Armi-
stead said:
"The question is in a sense prema-
ture. The election is just over and
no conference of the leaders has been
held. 1 have, however, talked with
several of the most active of the pro-
hibition workers and have received
communications from quite a number
of our friends from a distance. There
is perfect unamimity of opinion so
far as 1 have been able to discover.
l can state with propriety in a gener-
al way that the movement, as at first
projected, namely non-partisan, will
be maintained in all our future opera
tions. We have succeeded beyond
our anticipations by this method and
have become Convinced that our sue
cess can be attained most surely and
with least friction by a continuance
of this plan. There has been some
comment since the election about the
formation of third party and it was
even stated by the opposition during
the canvass, in order to prejudice the
movement in certain sections, that
the prohibition leaders contemplated
using the movement to the over
throw of one or both of the old politi
cal parties, and the construction Of {
new one, but such is not the case. o
course a movement of this character
and of the strength it has developed
could not in the nature of things ant
in justice to its maintenance ant
progress become a silent politica
force, but its powers will be exercised
solely, but boldly, to secure recogni
ton of its purposes and the attain
ment of its one object, independent o
all unnecessary partisan compiled
tions. We want to fight the battl
out on one line-that is the publ
good demands the removal of the 50
loon. No other question disturbs ou
thoughts and no other principle is il
our platform" OH t ....r.
